           <li>OpenBSD 3.7-current (April 2005) works.
           <li>ACPI-only machine, no APM support.
           <li>sis0 has certain issues, see postings

           <li>infrared does not work under OpenBSD.
           <li>sound is erratic, two out of three times.
           <li>USB2.0 doesn't work (pci_intr_map: no mapping for pin D).
           <li>To use the onboard NIC, make sure the interface is in Promiscuous
           mode. I use `tcpdump -i sis0 -w /dev/null` to accomplish this. For
           normal operation I add a (wireless) PCMCIA NIC.
           Audio programs (mplayer/mpg123/ogg123/xmms/etc) simply should be
           restarted once or twice to get proper audio.
   </ul>
           Overall, this laptop stinks. It's heavy, powerhungry and gets very hot
           (too hot, often it will shut itself down to prevent meltdown).
           A lot of hardware works only mediocre. The battery doesn't last long.
           It's huge/bulky. It's *extremely* noisy. But, it *does* run OpenBSD.
           And, when properly cooled, it's pretty fast (2.6 GHz). Why anyone
           would need that much CPU in a laptop is beyond me, but it's there.
